Böker Manufaktur Solingen

Surfing the Boker (Germany) site, I've falled in love with The Celebrated design.


Specially with the model Mother of Pearl 2.0 ... despite It's not MOP.


But I can't find experience on.
Can you share?

I have only one Boker, Solingen razor. It is a 6/8" extra hollow. It is a great razor.

The razors you picture is quite similar in design to the Dovo Bismark razor that I have.
Personally, I do not like the thumb notch, but that is a matter of personal preference.
I find that the notch makes it more difficult when stropping, but that is just me.

Both razors should be made from similar steel as there is only one forge in Solingen.
However, from my own personal experience and from everything I have read,
I believe Boker provides a higher level of craftsmanship.
I might come "shave ready", but if your shaving requirements are strict, you might need to rehone it before using.

Thanks. I'm looking for real experience.
I don't think the different 5 models have different shaves, being all the same design.

Yes. It's a sweet spot to me.
Dovo 2683 Bismarck No.2 Red Scales Limited Edition.

Any of the Boker razors should be at least as good as the Dovo Bismark. Since razors are hand crafted and honed, no two razors will be identical, even if they are the same make and model.

I have the Carbon 2.0 Edition,
It is very good, but - in comparison to my Henckel's Fiodora Inox - The vintage Henckel is superior.
There is no doubt the Bokers are very high quality, they are very smart looking. I was drooling over the Pearl edition for a long time
